'Forbidden Error 403 On Server Folder

I'm trying to host a new blog where I can add posts using a simple HTML form & PHP script. When I test out the form on my localhost everything works fine, but when I upload it and test it live I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /php/add-post.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I know that my host allows this type of script because I'm using exactly the same thing on another blog, and my permissions are set to 0755. Does anyone know what the problem might be & how to solve it?

Add the below code in .htaccess file

<Files add-post.php>
Order Deny,Allow 
Deny from all
Allow from all
</Files>

Or run command to provide permission to folder

chmod 774 /path/to/php/add-post.php
